The MusicStart® Learning Method

The MusicStart® Keyboard comes with 4 "Attachments" that individually attach over the buttons and guide the student. These Attachments show:

Attachment 1: color
Attachment 2: note names and notation

Attachment 3: notation only

Attachment 4: note names only

Step 1: (optional for older or more experienced students) Affix Attachment 1 to your MusicStart® Keyboard. View and/or print the colored sheet music from this site. Play the song by matching the colors on the Attachment with the colors on the sheet music notes. Press the square red Octave Up button if indicated.
Step 2: Affix Attachment 2 to your MusicStart® Keyboard. Play the same tune as in Step 1 but looking at the black and white sheet music from this site.
Step 3: Affix Attachment 3 to your MusicStart® Keyboard. Play the same tune as before but looking at the black and white sheet music from this site.
Step 4: Affix Attachment 4 to your MusicStart® Keyboard. Play the same tune as before but looking at the black and white sheet music from this site.
Step 5: Play the same tune with NO Attachments affixed to your MusicStart® Keyboard.

The MusicStart® Learning Method teaches you how to read music and play tunes by providing and then gradually taking away learning aids. It is a progressive learning method because more experienced students can use fewer learning aids (or none at all).
